Chapter 80: The Spring

"There's a cave? It's great! It's still on the mountain!"

Gu Xiaole was happy in his heart, this was simply the most ideal place to live in his mind.

After all, it is impossible to build a sturdy house outdoors, especially since they still lack a lot of necessary tools and raw materials.

At this time, it would be ideal to find a cave where you can shelter from the wind and rain.

The cave doesn't look very big, but it's perfect for the four of them.

I just don't know if there are already some small animals or even large beasts in it that take it as their home.

So Gu Xiaole clenched the machete in his hand and commanded Ning Lei in the back:

"Hide behind me and keep your voice out!"

Cautiously, little by little, he approached the cave.

The cave was on the slope of the hill, and the entrance was about the size of three or four ordinary doors.

Because it was daytime and the light inside was relatively dark, Gu Xiaole and the others could only see the place inside that was not deep from the entrance of the cave.

Only some large flat stones were found, and nothing else.

Gu Xiaole sniffed carefully at the mouth of the cave with his nose, fortunately, he felt that the humidity inside was not very large.

There is no particularly heavy musty smell.

Gu Xiaole took out the bundle of artemisia grass he had brought in advance and lit it with a lighter, and a puff of white smoke rose up,

Gu Xiaole didn't enter the cave either, and was directly thrown into it by the bundle of artemisia grass.

Soon the entrance to the cave was filled with thick smoke, choking people who couldn't open their eyes.

"So that's what you prepared for this?" Ning Lei really admired this captain who looked a little improper, Gu Xiaole's outdoor survival experience really didn't look good.

Gu Xiaole waved his hand a little modestly, signaling the little monkey Jin Jin and Ning Lei to stand away from the entrance of the cave.

"Actually, these are nothing, when I was a child, I accompanied my second uncle to the mountains to hunt, and he often brought some artemisia grass on his body.

When you encounter a burrow where you can't see if there are big beasts or snakes, insects, rats and ants inside, you will light it and throw it inside, even if there is a dog and bear hidden in it, you will have to choke it out!"

Gu Xiaole's words startled Ning Lei:

"Bears, you say there are bears in this cave?"

Gu Xiaole smiled: "It is unlikely that this kind of cave will have that kind of large beast,

After all, it's some distance from the jungle here, and it's too inconvenient for them to hunt.

But there will definitely be some critters in this cave, and it won't be long before you can see them!"

They were talking outside the cave, when they suddenly heard a fluttering sound inside the cave.

Then a large group of big black bats flew out of it,

These bats are quite huge, and some of them reach a staggering length of more than a meter when they open their wings!

Seeing that there were even some demons in Western religions, Ning Lei was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Gu Xiaole,

Grabbed Gu Xiaole's broad arms tightly, put his face on his back and didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't even dare to open his eyes, he just kept muttering in his mouth to let the Lord bless her.

After a while, the bats should have flown clean, and there was no movement in the cave.

"Alright, alright, my eldest lady, there are no more bats in the cave, and you don't have to pray!"

Gu Xiaole pulled Ning Lei's hand, which was holding his shoulder.

"Really, aren't they? Were those bats just now? That's too big, isn't it?

It can't be the legendary vampire bat, right?"

Ning Lei looked at it in horror for a while, then slowly let go of her hands, and still asked with some concern.

"Vampire bats? Don't be funny, vampire bats are very small. This kind of fruit bat is endemic to the tropics.

Don't worry, they only eat plant fruits, which are harmless to people and animals!"

Ning Lei asked a little uneasily:

"Are you sure? Such a big guy only eats fruit?"

"Of course, the bats in the tropical jungle here are basically harmless, and even in many countries in Southeast Asia, they are eaten by people?

By the way, a rich foodie like you can't have drunk bat soup, right?"

Gu Xiaole's words made goosebumps all over Ning Lei's body, and she waved her hands again and again and said:

"Don't talk about it, I'm disgusting!

Gu Xiaole, you said there won't be any other animals in this cave, right?"

Gu Xiaole looked at the cave that was still smoking again, and shook his head:

"I don't know any animal that can stay in such smoke.

Okay, the smoke inside is almost gone, we can go in and see how the environment is going?"

As he spoke, Gu Xiaole stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, but Ning Lei hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to go in first.

The little monkey Gold also squeaked, as if he didn't dare to enter rashly.

Gu Xiaole smiled, and said in his heart that this person is a ghost!

So he didn't shirk, took the machete in his hand, and walked cautiously into the cave.

But as soon as they entered the cave, they felt a layer of slimy white stuff under their feet.

"Oh, what is this? disgusting!"

Ning Lei, who was following him, shouted loudly.

"It should be the feces of that group of fruit bats, these guys don't know how long they have been in this cave,

Isn't it normal to have a little on the ground?"

Gu Xiaole carefully avoided the bat excrement on the ground and carefully observed the entire cave.

At first, when they entered, due to the large difference in light between the inside and outside of the cave, some of them could not see clearly.

After getting used to it for a while, it gradually got better.

This is a typical Kashmir cave, the cave is not estimated to be more than 100 square meters,

The stone walls around the cave are very smooth.

It's cool to the touch, and the space above your head is also very large, with at least four or five meters of rack space.

And there is no other debris inside the cave except for these more nasty bat droppings,

It looks like a perfect camp for them to use as a temporary stay.

Gu Xiaole took a closer look and didn't find anything else.

Nodding with satisfaction, he said:

"Looks like just clean up all this bat droppings, and you'll be able to live here!"

Ning Lei kept covering her nose and carefully followed behind Gu Xiaole on her tiptoes,

As soon as he heard this, he immediately said in a sharp voice:

"Clean up the? Who's going to clean it up? You're not going to let the two of us clean it up, are you?

The bat droppings on the ground are almost three inches thick, and we don't have a water source to clean them up?"

Gu Xiaole didn't speak when he heard it,

Although it is said that this Ning Lei is the eldest lady's tsundere temper attack,

But her words are not unreasonable, if such a thick bat dung on the ground is not washed with water,

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish cleaning up in a few days.

At this time, as soon as he entered the cave, the little monkey Gold, who was jumping up and down very excitedly, suddenly came to the two of them.

Squeaky wow said something.

Although Gu Xiaole doesn't understand monkey language,

But I can guess that this little guy must have discovered something.

So with the little monkey came to an inconspicuous stalactite pillar in the cave,

The little monkey stopped and pointed to the stone pillar, gesturing incessantly.

"This ......" Gu Xiaole touched the stone pillar with his hand suspiciously,

I was surprised to find that the stone pillar was actually wet,

And not only was it wet, but he also noticed that there was a clear stream of water flowing slowly down the stone pillar from the center of the top of the stone pillar.

"Is this a spring?" he carefully dipped his fingers in the water flow, put it in his mouth and sucked it.

It's really freshwater!

Gu Xiaole was so happy that he almost jumped up, as a survivor of these wild survivals,

The most difficult to obtain stable and clean freshwater resources,

The main reason why they had to move this time was because it was so difficult to get fresh water from the original beach!

Now that there is a spring in this cave, it is no less than the best gift God has given them!

With this place as a base, even if the four of them survive on this island for a long time, it will not be a big problem.

Although Ning Lei was also very happy, her face still showed some depression,

Not for anything else, his crow's mouth just finished saying that there is no water,

And in this cave found a spring,

The thick layer of bat droppings on the ground seemed to need to be cleaned up.

Looking at Ning Lei's awkward expression, Gu Xiaole smiled slightly:

"I said Miss Ning, you don't have to worry too much,

This time, we're just here to check out the new base.

As for cleaning, you can wait for Lin Rui and Lin Jiao and their sisters to come back and do it together.

And this bat droppings is actually just disgusting to look at, in fact it doesn't smell anything, don't believe it, you put your hand down and smell it!"

As she spoke, without waiting for Ning Lei's consent, Gu Xiaole suddenly pulled her little hand with her blocked nose.

A sour smell of choking nose rushed straight to Ning Lei's nostrils,

She felt a cramp in her stomach,

"Vomit ......"
